Well I can't be 100% sure, because I wasn't at the shop when they lifted it. But that's what the mechanic told me it was afterwards. That's why I was a bit surprised as to why he didn't want to get involved on the work. Could've been a 150-200 job for him. Maybe, since he's a friend, he didn't want to get into chasing the noise for a low quote if it wasn't the bushings after-all.
